Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics call this a faithful, well-acted Pink remake anchored by a strong Ajith performance and its timely consent message, though most flag added fights, a romance track, or pacing issues as unnecessary padding.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 9 readings; 6 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
